Fashion label Kapital introduces its new collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2019 season, boasting an overall Rastafarian-theme. The new collection follows the label's recent drop comprised of cozy sweaters to round off the Fall/Winter 2018 season. Entering into the warmer seasons, the fashion brand takes a much more vibrant approach, featuring apparel that honors the late Bob Marley and early eras of Jamaica.

Specifically, Kapital highlights the soothing culture of the 60s and it shows through the laid-back structures. A standout item is the patched up bandana-like button up shirt. It features several shades of pink and purple bandanas, sewn together to be a single shirt -- there is also a dark blue bandana backpack that follows the same theme.
